for a while i was listening to to 4 755's per side. on a flat baffle.

the most close speaker i had heard to that was a/the martin-logan cls.

tonal quality was the same .

only real difference was the dispersion.

4!!! per side? Where they A's or another version? I had a single 755A that I sold for $1800. I can't imagine having 8!

I just made myself a little sick! I play around with antiques, and have been to hundreds of shops in my lifetime. I looked up images of altec 755a and I have seen the exact same western electric or altec box at least a dozen times. I wish I would have known, they sound like fantastic speakers......

Never underestimate the power of the Hipster. Ask Papst Blue Ribbon. With that said, Altecs are just too dang big and ugly for 99% of the population.

What happened to the 'disturbing image' ? That was the best part of this thread! :-)

PS. Seems hostboard search still not working right. Could not find this one using various iterations of 'price' 'prices' etc.
